GENERAL INFORMATION
No Nuts / Food Allergies
All park district camps have been designated NUT SAFE . These practices are being implemented due to the rapid increase in serious nut allergies experienced by children in our programs today . We are requesting your cooperation in partnering with us to ensure a safe environment for children with nut allergies . If a camper comes to camp with a nut product , parents will be issued a reminder that nut products are not allowed in camp . If the same camper brings a nut product a second time , the camper will be dismissed from camp for the remainder of the summer without a refund . Peanut replacement products such as soy butter will not be allowed because camp staff will not be able to distinguish the difference between the nut and nut free product .
Our Doors Open Early
We open our doors 10 minutes prior to the start of camp to begin signing campers in . This allows more time for activities and more time to get siblings to other camp locations on time .
Camp Staff and Training
A qualified adult director supervises each camp . Staff at each camp are mature and enthusiastic about keeping your child safe and having fun . All camp staff complete a training program that includes supervision and safety techniques , COVID-19 precautions , pool safety , activity development and first aid .
On-Time Camper Pick Up Procedure
It is important to pick your campers up on time at the end of the day . By the end of camp , campers are ready to go home , staff have other commitments and schools need to lock up for the day . To help ensure on-time pick up , the following procedure has been put in place :
• First time late – a reminder about the proper pick up time will be given to the individual picking up the camper .
• Second time late – Once pick-up is 10 minutes late , parent is charged $ 15 and $ 1 for each additional minute . At the 30-minute mark , the fee increases to $ 5 per minute .
• Fee will be charged that same day .
Information Requests
Information regarding campers enrolled in park district camps is confidential . For your family ’ s safety , staff is not allowed to release phone numbers and addresses of other campers .
Camps at Glenview Youth Services , GBS & Library
The Glenview Park District has a long history of maintaining strong partnerships within the Glenview community . By working together with local agencies , we make Glenview a better place to live and residents receive maximum value from tax dollars . Through cooperative efforts , Glenview Park District will facilitate camps at Glenview Youth Services , Glenbrook South High School and the Glenview Public Library in 2022 .
Change in Camp Locations
Though we do our best to secure camp locations in advance , occasionally we must relocate a camp due to last minute needs or insufficient enrollment numbers necessitating consolidation of sections . If this should occur , you will always be given the choice of a full refund .
Safety & ADA Assistance
The park district wants to assure all campers have a safe and fun experience . Although the park district does not require children to have a medical examination to attend camp , your pre-camp emergency forms inform us of any special medical needs , including allergies and emergency details . As added protection for our campers , all of our camps are nut safe . If your child needs accommodations in accordance with the American with Disabilities Act , please contact us as soon as possible to ensure a successful experience for your child .
